Our newly opened hostel is in the heart of the Singapore city, less than 3 minutes walk away from the Singapore River, and 5 minutes walk away from a MRT (tube/metro) train station.

River City Inn is a family-owned and operated hostel. As travellers ourselves, we know that affordability should never compromise hospitality. Everything you need to provide a comfortable stay are available: Free Wi-Fi, Clean Sheets, Good Breakfast, Air-Conditioning, Discounted attraction tickets and more!

But at River Inn, we aim to offer something more. After you have explored the winding streets of Singapore, experienced the different cultures, delighted your taste buds and worn your shoes under the sweltering heat, we want to welcome you back. We want to offer you a place to unwind, write your journal, talk to other travelers and share stories. We aim not only to provide a bed for the night, but a space for the exchange of ideas, inspirations, personal reflections and growth. Because that is what traveling is about.

DIRECTIONS

If you're coming from Changi International Airport, the most economical way is to take the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train. You can follow these 5 simple steps:

Step 1: Proceed to Changi Airport MRT and take the East West line heading towards Tanah Merah.

Step 5: At the station lookout for EXIT E and you will see Central Mall. Cross the overhead bridge (or take the pedestrian crossing) and turn right at the end of the stairs and walk in the same direction as the flow of traffic. In 200m you will see Hongkong Street. Look out for the Yellow Building. Take the stairs to the 4th floor and ring the bell when you see 'River City Inn'. (Please note that we are located on the 4th floor of a heritage shophouse without a lift. There is another hostel in the same building, hence do not check in to a wrong hostel!)

Alternatively, you may take a shuttle bus or taxi to the doorstep of River City Inn.

-Proceed to the 'Ground Transport Desk' at the arrival terminal to catch a bus shuttle at $9/adult directly to the doorstep of River City Inn. 24-hr service.

-Hop in the cab/ taxi and tell the driver 33C Hongkong street and you should be at our doorstep within 20 minutes if the traffic is good!
